Irish state broadcaster RTE is to be sued by beaten Presidential election candidate Sean Gallagher over the infamous Twitter row.

Americans, roughly half or 144 million of them, will head to the polls this November and more than likely pick either one of two candidates to serve as their chief executive for the next four years. The masses will vote for either the Democrat (Barack O’Bama) or the Republican (Mitt Romney) like they have since 1856. Yet, neither seem to be incredibly popular among voters being tied in most national polls.  In this land of true democracy there are over one hundred hopeful presidential nominees on (and off) voting ballots that do not have the money, cache, or websites in some cases, that their bigger and more powerful donkey and elephant counterparts do. 

In conversation with the conservative leaning National Review this week, Tobin Ryan, older brother of GOP Vice Presidential nominee Paul, has outlined what makes his brother a good pick.

The Irish American Democrats (IAD) group has launched a fierce attack on Republican VP candidate Paul Ryan saying he does not represent the Irish Catholic values that he was raised with.

Former candidate for the presidency Sean Gallagher has called for the “full discovery” of communications within state broadcaster RTÉ surrounding the Frontline TV program fronted by Pat Kenny during which a controversial tweet was broadcast during the presidential election campaign.

Sarah Palin's famous updo is filled with secrets, according to a new HBO film debuting in March.  'Game Change' claims to tell the truth about the behind the scenes of Palin's losing 2008 campaign, but her aides have called it 'sick' and untrue.

Senator David Norris, the Irish politician who was involved in a controversial run for the presidency last year, is now back in the news for the non-payment of some $40,000 in campaign debt.
 
PR company Paul Allen and Associates Public Relations is trying to recoup the fees it says is due to them for their services provided during Norris’ run.
 
The firm has received two-thirds of what is due, but the remaining amount is still unpaid.
 
“It is on public record that there is money outstanding which is owed to my firm,” said Paul Allen, according the Irish Independent.
 
"It is up to Mr. Norris to explain exactly why it hasn't been paid; you'll need to talk to him."
 
Liam McCabe, who managed the Norris campaign, told the Irish Independent that he no longer was involved in the affair.
 
"I don't mean to be rude but my function is over, as the campaign is over."
 
Norris confirmed to the Independent that the issue was now in the hands of his legal representatives.
 
"Yes, there is an issue and the court records will reflect it. I'm sorry I have nothing else to say."
 
Norris’ campaign was riddled with controversy.  An early frontrunner, his campaign took a turn when an interview unearthed from the early 2000s featured Norris making controversial comments about pederasty.
